Daniel Larson Poet Rhyme

Four Corners of Life

I dreamt I saw an angel
     just outside my window pane;
I could see her glowing face
     through the lightly falling rain.
I jumped up from my warm bed
     and broke free from my dream,
But when I looked out again
     she was nowhere to be seen.

I've looked down a gravel road
     which was covered by fresh snow,
I'm sure it called out to me
     but I had no plans to go.
Sometimes at night I'll look back,
     just every now and then,
To see the roads not travelled
      and I'll wonder what might have been.

Loves had come and loves had gone
     quickly through one's youth it seemed,
Many now are but shadows
     of those on whom I leaned.
When young the burdens seems hard
     while one's lost and torn apart
And like so many others,
     I've lived through a broken heart.

Yet, age brings us something else
     and so oft' we're unaware,
There's so many little things
     for which we don't need to care.
Memories will come and go
     and at times unannounced,
In the end what's in our hearts
     is the only thing that counts.
